    Summary: Malicious code in twork-data-services-proxy-prime-api-v1-account-overdraft-info (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (74e5494883e9415a6efbc2775e753d413e111f02709b95688c94e09013dc8db8) On require() of this package, index.js loads _adapter.js which selects a platform-specific asset path (/pkg/package, /pkg/package.exe, /pkg/loader_mac, /pkg/package-arm64) and fetches an opaque native executable over HTTPS from hostnames reconstructed at runtime via array-join fragments (oob-worker.cf*-*.workers.dev), with a DNS TXT chunked-base64 fallback under *.dl.well1.site. The downloaded bytes are written to /var/tmp/.cache_<rand> or %TEMP%/dotnet_diag_<rand>.exe, chmod'd 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start /b. Network destinations and sensitive API names (child_process, chmodSync) are assembled from split string fragments to evade static grepping. A second unreferenced dropper implementation in lib/telemetry.js (self-described 'Analytics SDK', 81KB) mirrors the same primitives at larger scale (cp.spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', filePath+' &'], {detached:true}), fs['chmod'+'Sync'], base64 chunk decoding). The fetched payload host is unrelated to any stated package purpose, is mutable and anonymously-hosted, and delivers arbitrary native code that runs with the installer's privileges on every require.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
